Some humans treat communication
in relationships like;
~~~~~~~
Throwing presents over a wall
with the hope that they are being received.
~~~~~~~
Superficiality is the enemy of intimacy.
The best present is the giving of our authentic self.
That present - is a continuous flow of presents -
as we develop as a human (becoming)
we are revealing ourselves
as part of our wholistic journey
as we, right there and then,
discover ourselves.
Without self disclosure
there is no real giving.
Without self disclosure
there is no real love.
We who have reached that point of intimacy -
not superficiality,
need to take the steps of 'being'
this self disclosure first.
(Vulnerability not masks.)
'Becoming' this self disclosure,
in some strange way,
give the other permission to do the same.
Then the wall is removed
and we can give the presents with a smile.

It cures those who give
and
it cures those who receive"
